Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to the page Super Bowl XXIX has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Super Bowl XXIX

Hi there! Just FYI, I removed a small bit of the paragraph you just added to the above-referenced article because I felt it violated neutral point-of-view policy and wasn't necessarily supported by your cited article reference. I'm honestly a bit uncomfortable with NPOV on other parts of the paragraph but I will leave that to others to take issue with if it's actually a problem (I don't know nearly enough about the topic to know myself, hehe). Thanks for the contribution, and have a good one! Ginsengbomb (talk) 05:18, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Center for American Progress. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful, then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. Post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. If you are seeking to add disputed material, you must first get consensus on the talk page of the article. Loonymonkey (talk) 19:37, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for making legal threats or taking legal action. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia while the threats stand or the legal action is unresolved.

Request reason:

Editor was unreasonably following me, but my reference to the FBI was clearly made in jest. Ebw343 (talk) 17:49, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Decline reason:

See WP:NOTTHEM and WP:NLT, and WP:SARCASM. In case you haven't noticed, nobody is laughing at your "jest." You cannot be unblocked until you have unambiguously retracted the threat. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:15, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Request reason:

I'm not going to contact the FBI.

Accept reason:

Works for me. Just for future reference, that kind of thing isn't funny. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:36, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Signing your posts

It looks like you manually sign your posts, as many of them come up as "5:30 pm" or similar formats. Please use 4 tildes (~) to automatically sign your posts, as we use server time (UTC) as a standard, since we all live in different time zones. Otherwise it is very hard to quickly decipher when someone has added a comment to a talk page, and it maintains consistency. Thanks! Garchy (talk) 16:13, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Survey Invite

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take no more than 1-2 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Your survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9S3JByWf57fXEkR?Q_DL=56np5HpEZWkMlr7_9S3JByWf57fXEkR_MLRP_4NlDOnXCw5t1blX&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 18:23, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions alert

You have recently shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people.
